China in September
We have a tour lined up with China Overland ( china overland |china driving Travel |china self-driving) starting September 10 from Erlynhot (at the northern border with Mongolia) to Beijing, Xi'an and Shangai. Arriving in Shanghai on September 28.
Unfortunately the British couple in a car that we were joining have had to pull out of the tour. Because they were in a car the guide was riding with them and we were saving lots of money. I don't have a new quote from China Overland for just the two of us on motorcycles but I'm betting it is going to be expensive and perhaps unaffordable.
Paul at China Overland wanted everything by June 10 so that he had three months to obtain all the necessary permits. If you would like to join us on this trip please e-mail, PM or reply to this post ASAP or we might have to scrub the trip. Thanks!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
